GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA3606 is a low power voltage regulator. It contains:
1. One fixed voltage regulator with a foldback current protection, intended to supply a microprocessor that also operates during load dump
2. A reset-signal can be used to interface with the microprocessor
3. Supply pin can withstand load dump pulses and negative supply voltages
4. Defined start-up behaviour; regulator will be switched on at a supply voltage higher than 7.6 V and off when the output voltage of the regulator drops below 2.4 V.

FEATURES
• One VP-state controlled regulator
• Regulator and reset outputs operate during load dump
• Supply voltage range of−18 to +50 V
• Low quiescent current (battery detection switched off)
• High ripple rejection
• Dual reset output.
